English is now a global phenomenon no longer defined by fixed territorial, cultural and social functions. The Routledge Companion to English Studies provides an overview of this dynamic field of study, with this new edition focusing on English from an applied language perspective and taking account of interdisciplinary and decolonizing viewpoints. This companion considers historical trajectories while also showcasing state-of-the-art contributions by established scholars from around the world.

The Routledge Companion to English Studies:

provides a broad view of English as a subject of study and research through language-centred disciplines
investigates the use of English (and language more broadly) in contemporary communication practices, taking into account the use of technology
explores the role of English in education and in society from social and global perspectives
highlights the importance of the link between English and other languages within the concepts of flexible multilingualism and translanguaging
offers a view on the need for extending and deepening the concerns of English studies as a field of scholarly enquiry

This collection of thirty-one commissioned chapters provides a contemporary picture of the diverse field of English studies and is an expert-informed text for advanced students and researchers in this field.
